Guest guest Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 I have heard of Yuni Kriya to help with insomnia and to powerfully relax. Is there a book where it is described with an illustration? This is the crucial part as I do not understand the mudra. I do not find it in the books of Gururattana, maybe I missed it? I would be grateful for your help. Sat Nam and may the Light shine on your happiness. Kalliopi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Sat Nam Kalliopi Yuni Kriya is described/taught by Dr. Shannahof-Khalsa in his book " Kundalini Yoga Meditation: Techniques specific for psychiatric disorders, Couples Therapy, and Personal Growth. It is also described in The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, 2004. It was taught by Yogi Bhajan in 1974. It has three important parts, the eyes-on-tip-of the nose, the mudra and the breathing. It comes with a strong recommendation not to exceed eleven minutes. I assume you know the Kriya and only need a description of the mudra, if I understood your question correctly. The key with the mudra is to keep your elbows relaxed against your body and the hands in front of the solar plexus about a foot away from the body. Now, this is how I do the mudra so it does not get complicated. Hopefully it will help you without the need of an illustration. Bring your palms together, elbows relaxed along the side of your body, and move your hands one foot towards the front of your body (solar plexus area). Your hands are together like in prayer mudra and pointing directly away from you. Now, bring your thumbs up pointing towards the sky, still together. Now, bring your index-middle-ring fingers, still together, in a bundle, up and away from the little fingers. You should now have the thumbs, together, pointing straight up, your index-middle-ring fingers together in a bundle but separated from the thumbs and little fingers. Both hands still touching each other. Now, bring the index-middle-ring fingers, as a bundle, still together in each hand, but open them sixty degrees where the three ones from the right hand move towards the right away from the bundle in the left hand, and the three ones from the left hand move towards the left and away from those from the right. The only part of your right and left hand that should be touching each other is the line along your little fingers down to the base of the hand (wrist) and up the thumbs. The palms don´t touch. Nothing else. The three middle fingers in each hand are toughing each other but apart from those of the other hand. Like a cave. If it helps, get two rubber bands and put the around the index-middle-ring fingers of each hand. Now you can see. Just bring the two bundles sixty degrees apart. Now your are read for the Kriya. The breathing pattern is unique, especially the position of the lips during inhalation. Best to you.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Sat Nam, I found a copy of Yuni Kriya, the mudra described sounds like Open Lotus mudra. I hope this helps. 5) Practice specific meditations before bed Yoga traditions offer many kriyas(sets of movements)and meditations that assist sleep. This one is from kundalini yoga and is easy for beginners to use. Yuni Kriya Position(easy pose): Sit in a cross legged position with your back straight. Hand position(mudra): pinkies and thumbs touch along the whole edge; bottoms of hands touch; other fingers fan away from each other like a flower; hold your hands in front of your chest (heart center) with the fingers pointing away from your chest. Eyes: look past tip of the nose to a spot on the floor. Breath: Inhale through the Nose; Exhale through the Mouth; Inhale through the Mouth, Exhale through the Nose. Continue for 3 minutes and gradually build to 11 minutes.
